“Immortal Lingyan, oh, should I call you a deity now?” I asked him.
"It's just a name, but I still prefer Ah Hua to call me Zhu Silang." Ling Yan Shangxian replied casually while suspiciously tasting the tea he had brewed to see if there was really something wrong with it.
I coughed lightly.
Although he only had Wen Heng's face during those years in the mortal realm, now that we see his original appearance, he only has a similar figure to Wen Heng, but otherwise he has nothing to do with Wen Heng.
Therefore, I always believed that Zhu Silang back then was Wen Heng.
It still feels very awkward for me to call him Zhu Silang.
“Since it’s just a title, I’m more used to calling you God Lingyan.” I replied, casually fiddling with the teacup in my hand.
"But with a god like you as my neighbor, I can finally live here with peace of mind..."
"Oh my, Ah Hua is living here? It really brings back memories of the days when Ah Hua chased after me."
I don't know if it was Ling Yan's cold words or the eerie wind here, but I couldn't help but shiver.
"But there's something I'm puzzled about. You didn't come here to undergo tribulation, so why do you have a mortal body now?" I asked, somewhat confused.
Because I know that if he were a celestial being living here, this place should be a place of outstanding people and abundant spiritual energy, not one filled with such eerie winds.
Furthermore, the spiritual aura that a celestial being should possess had vanished from his eyes.
Hearing my question, he stared blankly at the tea in his hand: "Ascension to Godhood... was six hundred years ago... Actually, during my last tribulation, I didn't fully succeed because of the cultivation of my soul. If it weren't for the soul of God Wenheng filling the gap, I probably wouldn't be alive today. But now, my spiritual power has diminished to the point that I'm practically indistinguishable from a mortal body."
"I see..."
It's amazing to find someone in the same boat. I patted him on the shoulder with some sympathy, but I couldn't help asking, being a bit gossipy, "So how much time do you have left?"
He looked up at me listlessly and said, "My lifespan is about the same as that of an ordinary person, probably fifty years at most?"
"What a coincidence! We're about the same age..."
"How about we spend the rest of our lives together?" Ling Yan looked up and asked me tentatively.
I didn't understand what he meant, but just as I was about to respond, my phone suddenly rang.
The caller was Qingyan! When I answered, she excitedly told me, "Hey, Miss Ahua, your sweetheart has accepted my WeChat message, but I can only see his updates from the last three days. He only posted one thing: he's going to X bar tonight, and that's it..."
"Okay, I understand, thank you..." Just as I was about to hang up, I asked again, "Do you know where X Bar is?"
"I know you, not only do I know you, I'm also a member there. How about I pick you up and take you there?" Qingyan was as enthusiastic as ever, and she even knew exactly what I was thinking.
Anyway, I've seen bars on TV, but I've never been to one. I'm a bit averse to such chaotic places, but with her by my side, I don't feel so lost.
So I readily replied with an "Mm," and then sent her my location.
As for Ling Yan, I lost interest in continuing the conversation. I politely apologized a few times and then hurried out of the residential area to wait for Qingyan's arrival at the gate.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~" A few loud motorcycle sounds echoed through the streets and alleys. A very cool motorcycle carrying a thin person wearing a black helmet drove up from afar and stopped in front of me.
She took off her mask, revealing a heavily made-up girl dressed boldly and flamboyantly. You could say she was cool, or you could say she was seductive. She grinned at me.
This time, my outfit is a bit...unusual.
Upon seeing me, he patted the empty seat behind him and said, "Let's go! But... are you really going to a bar in these clothes?"
"Is there a problem?" I'm looking for someone, not going inside to play.
"No problem...no problem, you look beautiful in anything..."
I had just sat down in the empty seat behind her when Qingyan started the car with a "whoosh" and sped off like lightning through the streets.
The scenery along the road rushed past me.
It brought back the feeling of soaring through the clouds that I had so many years ago.
But I'm getting old after all, and this speed is making me feel a little nauseous and want to vomit.
We arrived at the X bar just as the sun was setting.
The place was brightly lit and bustling with traffic, a truly lively scene.
Qingyan pulled me into the bar. As soon as we stepped inside, we heard deafening, passionate, and exciting music, and saw men and women, as if they were on steroids, shaking their heads and dancing wildly in the center of the dance floor.
The foul air from the mortals here makes everyone feel uncomfortable and smelly no matter where they are.
Qingyan pulled me by the hand and led me towards the crowded area, asking me enthusiastically, "What does the person you want to see look like? Do you have a photo? I'll help you see if he's there?"
I pinched my nose and reluctantly sat down at a table and chair in a quiet corner where there were few people, and then looked around.
I really didn't want to be with that group of people.
"Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to come to our X Bar. To express our gratitude for your support, all drinks tonight will be on the tab by our Young Master Ye!"
"Wuhu..."
"Whistles and shouts blended together."
Upon hearing that all drinks were free today, Qingyan excitedly brought over several bottles of fine wine and placed them on the table: "Drink up, don't waste any! I heard this wine is a new product from the owner here, and it's usually hard to find. We must drink our fill today!"
Seeing the wine made my stomach rumble, so I grabbed the bottle Qingyan handed me and gulped it down.
"This wine... it actually tastes like the recipe from the contract I made with Ye Chen!"
If magic hadn't been used, it would have been impossible to brew so much wine in such a short time!
Thunderclap, and then the energetic music started up again.
Just as I was pondering the matter of the wine, a familiar face appeared on the main table not far away.
I stood up from my seat in shock, my body unsteady, and I almost fell to the ground, but luckily Qingyan caught me in time.
The face of Wen Heng, whom I haven't seen for thousands of years, that I think about day and night, that keeps me tossing and turning, and that keeps me awake at night—the face of the person I thought I would never have the chance to see again in my lifetime!
Although he now wears a gleaming, tacky gold chain around his neck.
She wore a large, gleaming gold ring on her finger.
A shiny, slicked-back hairstyle with the hair pulled back into a bun.
His entire body was gleaming gold, and he was shaking his head and swaying his hips to the beat of high-energy rock music, exuding a wicked and unrestrained charm. I could recognize him at a glance.
——Wen Heng!
